Chapter 73

“Did you sleep well?”

The long-haired man, who had been staring blankly at Jeong-min, was startled and tried to swing his arm at Jeong-min.

However, since his shoulder had been pierced by the sword and the bones on his other arm had been shattered, only intense pain rose, and he only put on a stunned expression when he saw his arm not moving according to his will.

Jung-min glared at the long-haired man for a while and then said to Joong-woo.

“I’ll take him away and dispose of him. I have a question for you. Is that all right?”

“Of course. Are you going to go already?

“Oh, sorry. I have work to do. I should have gone back to the shelter yesterday, but these guys have kept me out until this hour.”

“I see. I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. Please stop by next time.”

“Yes, I will make sure to stop by.”

Jung-min and Leah greeted Jung-woo, and Jung-woo called Ji-seok, who had guided the first two, and instructed him to see them off outside the shelter.

Following Ji-seok’s guidance, the two and a long-haired man came out of the shelter.

As soon as I stepped outside, the long-haired man kicked the ground and quickly started running away.

“Hey, he’s running away!”

Surprised, Ji-seok shouted, but Jung-min and Leah did not show any reaction.

“Thank you for guiding us. Next time we come, we’ll say hello.”

Jung-min greeted Ji-seok with a calm expression and used space movement with Leah while watching the long-haired man run away.

Two people appeared behind the long-haired man who was running with his teeth clenched.

He immediately put his hand on the long-haired man’s head and pushed it forward and pressed it down.

The long-haired man, whose head was ground to the ground, collapsed forward and screamed.

“Aagh!”

Looking at the long-haired man in pain, Jung-min said coldly.

“Don’t do anything stupid. You can’t escape. If you answer the question correctly, I’ll let you go without pain.”

“Sah, there’s no option to save you in the first place…”

When the long-haired man spoke in a painful voice, Jung-min said with a sneer.

“A choice that will save you? Do you have no conscience at all? You have killed countless innocent Awakened people in the meantime, and you want to save yourself?”

“…”

As if he had nothing to say, the long-haired man just glared at Jung-min, biting his lip.

“Okay, tell me if you know anything about the marauders. Are you the biggest marauders group? Are there any other marauder groups besides you? They’re the same marauders, so they probably know something.”

said the long-haired man growling.

“Do you think I’ll tell you even if I know? If you promise to save me, think about it-“

squeak

A thin line formed on the long-haired man’s neck, and soon the head separated from the body and fell to the ground.

Jung-min, who swung his sword, spoke softly.

“Okay. You don’t have to say any more. Looters, you just have to find them yourself. You’re such a piece of garbage.

Leaving behind the long-haired man who collapsed to the floor, Jung-min turned and looked at Leah.

“It’s better to just roam around occasionally and deal with them whenever you see them. I tried to ask if there were any other larger groups, but I’m afraid I won’t get an answer.”

“You did well. By the way, since you dealt with a lot of looters, your stats and gold holdings must have increased a lot. Would you like to check it?”

Jung-min listened to Leah’s words and opened the status window.

Looking at the status window, Jung-min exclaimed.

“My stats have gone up quite a bit. The amount of gold I have is also… considerable. Since my stats go up so easily, I must be plundering so much. Ha, I also look red when I look at Jun-gi’s ‘karma measuring glasses’. Didn’t you kill people?”

Leah shook her head as she saw Jung-min speaking with a bitter face.

“It is not so.”

“Yes?”

“Even if you look at Jeong-Min through the ‘Karma Measuring Glasses’, he won’t look very red. The ‘Karma Measuring Glasses’ won’t count if you kill someone who gained even a little bit of stats by killing other Awoken. Most of them were marauders, so there’s no way they’d look red through the ‘karma measuring glasses’.”

“That’s right.”

Looking at Jung-min, Leah spoke kindly.

“Yes. Looters who kill other Awoken to steal their stats and gold don’t even count ‘Karma Measuring Glasses’ as people. So no matter how many Looters you kill, you don’t have to hold back at all. You don’t have to think of them as people. They really are. I think it’s like an animal that harms people, you know?”

Watching Leah speak passionately, Jung-min smiled lightly.

“Thank you. I almost got depressed, but thanks to Leah, I can smile.”

“Thank you. I’m someone like Jung-Min’s… um… teacher. Oh, but please don’t try to use the titles such as ‘teacher’ or ‘teacher’.”

At Leah’s words, Jeongmin burst into laughter.

Looking at Jung-min smiling, Leah spoke as if she was relieved now.

“Let’s go back now. It’s been a day since I left Yuri and the children alone. And I have to go back to Chianan.”

“Haa.. I really don’t have time to rest.”

“It’s not enough time to rest. Shall we go then?”

Leah held out her hand, and Jung-min took her hand and said.

“Yes, let’s go.”

Jung-min used space movement.

Yuri wakes up in Jung-min’s studio, sees Leah and Jung-min off as they leave, then goes back to sleep.

After being chased by looters for over a day, the overworked body continued to want rest.

When I opened my eyes, it was long past lunchtime.

Eun-jin and Min-joon were sleeping soundly without waking up even once.

Yuri looked at the children who were sleeping deeply with pity.

‘I must have suffered a lot outside in the cold.. I must have been very tired..’

Yuri left the children to sleep, went into the bathroom, and washed up and came out.

When I came out of the bathroom, I could see the children who had been awakened by the presence of people and were looking around.

“Are you awake? No more sleeping.”

Eunjin and Minjun let out a sigh of relief as if they were relieved to see Yuri.

Yuri said while stroking the children’s heads.

“Aren’t you hungry? Shall we go eat?”

As if they were woken up by the words to eat, Eunjin and Minjun nodded vigorously.

Yuri smiled and prepared to go out with the children.

The pigeon ‘Soo’, who had been sleeping well by the children’s bedside, also flew up and sat lightly on Eunjin’s shoulder.

Yuri and the children go outside and head to the restaurant.

The three of them were preoccupied with looking around the inside of the shelter.

When I came in the day before, I was so tired that I couldn’t see it properly, but looking at it again, it really seemed like a new world that was so different from the outside.

A man approached the three of them as they moved while looking at the signpost leading them to the restaurant.

“Did you rest well?”

Seeing the man approaching and greeting him, Yuri was startled and hurriedly greeted him.

“Oh, hello.”

The man who greeted Yuri, Park Joon-gi, said with a smile.

“How is your body? There were no injuries, maybe?”

“Yes, thanks. I wanted to say thank you for saving me once again, but I met you right away like this. Thank you.”

In response to Yuri’s polite greeting, Junki waved his hand and said.

“Ah, it’s okay. But these kids…”

“Ah, my brothers. Greetings, children. The one who saved me yesterday from the marauders.”

At Yuri’s words, the children opened their eyes wide and greeted Jun-gi.

Junki smiled happily as he exchanged greetings with the children.

Looking at ‘Soo’ sitting on Eunjin’s shoulder, he looked very curious.

“Are you looking at Shelter?”

“Rather than that, I haven’t eaten yet. I’m on my way to a restaurant.”

“I see. Come with me. I’ll show you around. I was just on my way to eat.”

“Oh, can I?”

Yuri and the children were guided by Jun-gi and moved to the restaurant.

Jun-gi guided the three of them and introduced them to the facilities inside the shelter.

After arriving at the restaurant, Jun-gi said to Yuri.

“Don’t you have a distribution bracelet? Let’s use mine.”

“Oh, no. I have it too. Jung-min gave it to me.”

“Is that so? He’s not that meticulous…”

Watching Jun-ki talk as if he was surprised, Yu-ri smiled softly.

“I guess you two are very close?”

“Well, we’ve been growing up together since we were young.”

The four of them received food and ate.

The children saw the rice and side dishes and rushed militantly, and Yuri ate while chatting with Jun-gi.

Jun-gi said as we parted after finishing the meal.

“Mr. Yuri is an Awakener, so he’s probably going to join our combat unit. Then, I’ll tell you in advance so you can join our group. Are you okay?”

Yuri blushed at Junki’s words and said.

“I-I thank you. Rather, I want to ask you something.”

After Junki smiled once at Yuri, he said goodbye and parted ways.

Yuri took a rough look around the inside of the shelter with the children and returned to the dorm.

Time passed and the night deepened, but Jung-min and Leah did not return.

Yuri said to Eunjin and Minjun.

“Anyway, the two of you seem busy. Let’s go to sleep for today. Maybe he’ll come tomorrow.”

The three of them turned off the lights and fell asleep again.

and the next day.

When I returned to my room after breakfast, Jung-min and Leah were back.

“I’m home.”

Seeing Jung-min greet with a smile, Yuri and the children greeted each other face to face.

Jungmin said.

“First of all, we also want to wash up. We have something to talk about, so let’s talk after washing up.”

Yuri nodded, and Jung-min and Leah took turns going into the shower and washing themselves.

After washing their bodies, the two of them looked pretty drowsy.

The five of them sat facing each other in the studio, and Jung-min brought up a story.

“First of all, Yuri and the children have been officially registered in this shelter. The accommodation is currently under construction, so I think you will have to use this one-room until it is completed. Me and Leah will have to leave soon, so You can use it without any hesitation as we need to empty this place.”

Yuri and the children nodded their heads, focusing on Jung-min’s words.

Seeing this, Jeongmin continued his speech.

“I think Yuri will probably belong to the Awoken combat unit. All Awoken people belong there without exception. However, since she has just entered, she will not belong to the unit until the accommodation is completed, and the construction side will have to help.”

“I’m ready to do anything you ask me to do.”

Watching Yuri speak with determined eyes, Jung-min smiled lightly.

“Minjun will go to the daycare center within the shelter. There are many other children, so it will be fine to hang out with. Eunjin will also attend the integrated education facility within the shelter. You can just think of it as a comfortable school.”

Jung-min spoke again to Eun-jin, who nodded.

“I have a request for Eunjin.”

“No, say anything.”

Jeongmin paused for a while before speaking.

“There is something we need to do, and for that we need Eun-jin’s ‘Training’ skill. Can you use that skill to help us?”
